Helen decided that we required somewhere to put our bike gear while touring around the Alps this year. So she opted to buy a Pacsafe Stuffsafe 80 litre bag to hold our jackets and back protectors while we stopped to visit things.

The patented anti-theft StuffSafe 80 from Pacsafe combines an 80L waterproof stuff sack and a slashproof, snatchproof and tamperproof stainless steel eXomesh® Ultimate exterior. It can be locked and secured to something solid, in our case one of the bikes. It looks to be a quality product, but without trying to cut the eXomesh® we have really no way of knowing how strong it is. But visually it does look very strong and we don’t really intend to use it anywhere particularly dodgy looking. It is obviously no good for securing small things as you can get you hands through the holes in the mesh. But for our bulky jackets and back protectors it is perfect. It is also very light and packs down to a very small size that can be easily carried on the seat of ones of our bikes or in a top box.

Welcome

Welcome to my motorcycling blog. This blog is a complete diary of what myself and my wife Helen have been up to on our bikes, since passing our tests.

We only passed our tests at the end of 2007 after we had been inspired by our visit to the Isle of Man. But in this short time we have covered over 60,000 miles and been on tours through France, Spain, Germany, Belgium, Luxembourg, Switzerland, Austria, Italy and Slovenia. These tours have also included trips over many famous mountain passes in the Alps, Vosges, Dolomites and Pyrenees.

We try and get out every weekend weather permitting, but we aren't fair weather fairies. I have seen my fair share of rain and even snow. We regularly go out with the guys from North UK Bikers on rideouts, sometimes I even lead.
